50 years ago, Toni Moore and WOWE joined up with the OWEA to hand-print our first Festival T-shirt.
This 1976 origin story was brought to life by dedicated neighbors, including the Basilius, Amstutz, Baldwin, Dusseau, and other families, launching a community tradition that we continue to celebrate.
These limited edition commemorative items are only available through March 31. Act FAST! Shop t-shirts, hoodies, cards, bags, & more:
The Women of the Old West End (WOWE) is seeking proposals from lo- cal residents and neighborhood busi- nesses interested in helping maintain the beauty of OWE Commons Park (2152 Robinwood).
Through our partnership with the City of Toledo, WOWE is responsible for ongoing upkeep of the park—including mowing, edging, and fertilizing. In recent years we have partnered with commercial providers, and as we pre- pare for spring, we are opening this opportunity to the community.
We are requesting proposals from individuals or businesses who can pro- vide:
• Weekly mowing
• Monthly edging
• Bagged or mulched clippings
If you or your business would like to be considered, please submit a pro- posal outlining your services and pricing to wowe1969@gmail.com.
